Assuming this is directed at the state of Zerg matchups, ZvT looks like it's in a better state now than it's been in a long time. Hell, Dream 3-0ed Dark the other day...

ZvP still looks pretty wonky, where P wins off the back of some wonky aggressive play or gets destroyed late game.

Meh.

The question is: Do we have to wait until the end of the year for a fix or until Katowice?

So the Serral cup goes to Serral, how surprising... Congrats I suppose, winning an online friendly against a few tired Koreans has to be respected.
GG Inno, the real winner here who gave us great games in such tough circumstances. The way he beat Elazer even though he was memeing in the first two games was awesome.
Thanks everyone participating and organizing, all in all it was fun which matters most.

Yeah, this is an insightful and valuable post. Can we have more of this great content from you? More passive-aggressive than a scorned, teenage girl.

Spat out my drink reading your post Rubicant1. It's amazing how angry people can get at balance.

Also, I want to say great job to Elazer on beating Serral and managing to take some games of Inno.

If you realy want to take any conclusions about the State of the game out of this tournament, it would be how unstable the NA Server is.
It was a 5k online Cup with almost only invites guys.
GGs to Serral for winning it, Inno for defeating sleep and Elazer for his good run, thx for putting this up TakeTV

not to mentioned the cross-served condition. It's like playing with 50% handicap whenever you play versus a Zerg.

Serral is the bad guy for playing in a tournament that was not ideal for koreans

Surprising amount of whining for a tournament that had real meaning... Thanks for the tournament, Take!

Really cool tournament, enjoyed it very much. Thanks to the crew, and much respect to Rotti and Wardi for carrying so hard. Also special shoutout to Lambo, best guest commentator!

I agree that I was really impressed with INnoVation. I also think Group A from the Ro16 was the best part of the tournament, really awesome games. Serral winning a HSC against INnoVation is... well, expected by now, I suppose. I wouldn't read all too much into the result in the grand scheme of things, but it was a well deserved victory for Serral, of course, especially after he looked a but shaky during the day.
